Default Royal purple synthedic oils

I was just wondering if anyone here uses Royal Purple Synthetic Oil
in there flatheads ?

I was watching muscle car on the tube this morning and they put this stuff in everything. Motor , tran brakes , rearend. I think the guy on the show even drank some himself.
I guess its suppose to be the cat meow for engines but is on the pricy side.

Way overkill for a stock flathead IMHO.
